SOUTH CENTRAL WATERFRONT PLAN

Waterfront Walkabout on Jan 11, 2014 Time TBA: Are you going?

There's a new South Central Waterfront Plan Initiative launching in December 2013. The South Central Waterfront Plan will establish a vision and provide a cohesive set of recommendations to guide public and private development over the next 20-plus years.

The Plan will help ensure that privately developed properties and publicly financed amenities will work in tandem to create a beautiful public realm that supports a lively, attractive pedestrian environment, creates great public spaces, and enhances connections to and along the waterfront.

Background

The Lady Bird Lake corridor is one of Austin’s most distinctive and valuable natural assets, as well as one of Austin’s most beloved places. Fortunately, our waterfront has benefited from a legacy of forward-looking planning that is rooted in the 1985 Town Lake Corridor Study. This Study established broad principles and goals to promote that future public and private development along and near the lake be in harmony with protecting the waterfront, enhance public access along and to the shoreline, and encourage excellence in urban design.

SOUTH CENTRAL WATERFRONT AREA (SCWA)

The South Central Waterfront is an area of 97 acres bounded by South First Street on the west, Blunn Creek to the east, Lady Bird Lake on the north, and East Riverside Drive and East Bouldin Creek on the south (see map below or click here).
